About this quest

Paris hides more than beauty—it hides secrets. As George Curious, a history student with a skeptical mind, you're about to tumble down a rabbit hole of ancient spells, forgotten symbols, and the whispered legend of the philosopher’s stone. 

It all begins with a lazy afternoon and your friend Lola’s wild obsession with alchemy and esoteric lore. But curiosity quickly turns into a real-world adventure. Solve puzzles, follow cryptic clues, and walk through hidden corners of Paris that pulse with mystery. 

Bring a friend, open your mind, and prepare to question everything. The magic isn’t just in the story—it’s in the journey you’ll share.

Highlights

  • Learn about the legends surrounding Nicolas Flamel.

  • Discover some mysterious elements of Notre Dame Cathedral.

  • Find out what the alchemical elements of Saint-Michel Fountain are.

  • Locate the original tapestries that decorate Harry Potter’s Gryffindor common room.

The mission: Your story in Paris

Your name is George Curious, history student. 

One lazy afternoon, your friend Lola talks endlessly about her fascination for alchemy, magic throughout history, and all things esoteric. 

Intrigued by the legend of the philosopher’s stone, you decide to explore the stories behind it.
